What Jane Austen novel is Bridget Jones’s Diary based on? Who made it popular for brides to wear white? How did Ellen and Portia meet?

For Valentine’s Day, Harlequin — the world’s biggest publisher of romance novels — is sponsoring several Romance Trivia Author & Reader parties across North America. Check the list above and see if there’s one near you. It’s a great chance to meet local romance authors and win some prizes.

They are kindly opening it up to non-Harlequin authors, and I am participating in the Omaha, NE event at The Bookworm, one of the city’s best-known independent bookstores. (Location details under ‘Upcoming Events’, to the right.)

There will be a slew of romance writers there, and we love to meet readers! There is no admission charge. People can form a team with friends, or join a team when you get there. Did I mention there would be prizes?

Her Scottish Groom

Proud Scottish Lord Kieran Rossburn doesn't relish the idea of a marriage of convenience, but he'll do what he must to preserve his family estate. Worse, the bride he's been saddled with -- the daughter of a crass, unrefined, American millionaire -- is far to weak-willed for his tastes. Or so it seems at first...
After a lifetime under the thumb of her domineering parents, Diantha Quinn can't believe she's shipped across the ocean to be locked away yet again. Now, to gain any sort of power in her life, she must resist Kieran's seductions. Yet how can she keep from falling in love, when she is wed to the most tempting man in all of Scotland?

To be Seduced

Lord Richard Harcourt has devised a master plan for ridding himself of debt. The notorious rake will abduct a wealthy heiress. But beneath her meek, prim exterior, Richard discovers a shrewd and exciting temptress he can’t resist touching…

After a night alone in a coach with her captor, Bethany Dallison knows she must wed him if she wishes to keep her reputation intact. Though she cannot control her fate, Bethany can control her impulses. She refuses to yield her body to Richard—no matter how seductive his kisses. But as their nuptials approach, Bethany finds her resolve quickly melting under his caress—while Richard finds that fortune is the last thing on his mind…

About Me

Besides writing about scrumptious 19th century men and the bold women they love, I also enjoy (in no particular order) needlepoint, hanging out with other writers, genealogy, historical documentaries and books, wine, chocolate, Husker football (native Nebraskan here) and new recipes. Oh, and looking at pictures of cute guys on the internet. For research. Really.
